Benjakitti Park is located in the heart of Bangkok city amongst Sukhumvit's high rise hotels and office blocks, which makes it very convenient for people to visit this park in the early morning either for a walk or a jog before or after work.

At this time of the year from early March to late April the Bougainville flower comes to life and blooms all around the lake side of the park in many different colors making the park look like a gorgeous paradise.

There is even a area where you can bring you picnic basket laid back do a bit of people watching or just enjoy looking up at the trees against the blue sky and wait for that sunset over the lake.

There is always a shrine no matter what park you are in Bangkok a nice atmosphere to say your prays or maybe a bit of meditation.

If you really wanted to be in the center of the sunset and be romantic you could hire these cute swan peddle boats or just a row boat for $2 US per/hour and been right out there as a lovers couple.

Did anyone tell you the pink part of the bougainvillea is actually the leave and the little white part is the flower? Someone told me in 2015.

Yes actually i found out from google it does make sense but they are beautiful colored leaves..yeah :)

Thank you so much @tijntje it was certainly a spectacular day and luckily i did stay for that sunset it was worth the wait most definitely :)

You did it again flowers, palm trees, bikes, and buildings. Loved the total tour.

Thank you so much @willowwisp i thought you would enjoy that one. Thanks for stopping by and thanks for the upvote much appreciated :)

What a great park to enjoy a walk or bike ride in the outdoors :-)

You are not wrong about that i absolutely love this park i always enjoy walking around this park :)

What an impressive park, it Looks huge, thats cool they have lanes for cyclist and joggers, those swan boats are also cool I know I came across similar somewhere on my travels but I cannot remember where

I hope your weekend went well

Certainly is a impressive park not as big as central park over there but a very well arranged park for everyone to enjoy.

And i had a great weekend . Thanks :)

It may not be as big as Central Park, but it does seem very impressive with so much to do, sometimes bigger is not best as they say

This is true not as big but has a lot going for it :)

Your post for sure highlights that

Cheers :)

Thank you so much @acropolis for your upvote and support :)

Sure seems like they really work hard to make it nice there. Outstanding!

They certainly do it's always so well manicure always workers around keeping it clean and trim :)

As if I need another excuse to go Thailand @hangin. Those gardens are simply beautiful and I imagine those hire boats are very popular. Your photography is truly spectacular.

Haha...it's low season now tickets are less the half price an beautiful picnic at this park with lobster salad would go down well....get those bags packing...lol :)

My bags been packed for a while my friend. I have a suitcase prepared for my Thailand trip so that I can leave at short notice. Just need a few more dollars.......quite a few dollars. But will keep steeming in the meantime. 😊

Well you could be in luck it's low season so airfares are down and steemit looks to be moving upwards showing good signs :)

Masterful. I picked out a couple, or dozen, favorites. Some amazing pictures. A little of everything.
This is a fantastic variety to share with us. Really appreciate the time you took.

Must have been a wonderful day.

Thank you @nana-nini i really had a wonderful day i could not have asked for any more just perfect :)

What a beautiful park!!!! And so many colorful flowers. 😍
Thank you for this amazing contribution and, esprcially, for the beautiful bougainvillea flowers (actually, leaves).

Thank you my dear friend i really enjoyed my walk around this park on a spring afternoon a very colorful and vibrant park i will say and your right they are colored leaves the flower is the tiny white one in amongst them beautiful leaves :)

Another incredible and epic park, the sheer scale of size that these parks you visit cover is mind boggling. They playground looks super fun and ideal for keeping the youngsters happy, and you find some amazing red flowers with the yellow trim around the edge.

Another incredible photo packed post, I have no idea how you manage to do it every time.
